About the 431 Exchange

Continuing a Legacy

The Adult Education Center (AEC) on Exchange Place in New Orleans provided innovative vocational training to 431 inspirational women from 1965 to 1972. These women went on become the first Black secretaries to integrate the multinational corporations and local businesses of the city. Eventually their impact spread throughout the South and helped pave the way for equal employment opportunity for all American citizens. Now, Jeanne and Jeff Geoffray, descendants of Alice Geoffray, the school’s Director, have created the 431 Exchange: a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that advocates in Louisiana on behalf of adult education and social justice issues.

Our Mission

Our mission at the 431 Exchange is to empower adult learners to pursue higher education and career advancement by providing them with the financial support, mentorship, and resources they need to succeed. Through our scholarship programs, we aim to break down barriers to education and create opportunities for individuals to realize their full potential. We believe that investing in adult education not only transforms the lives of our scholars but also strengthens our communities and contributes to a more equitable society.
